There are just 22 days to go until the second and final season of Andor arrives on Disney Plus, and the star of the show Diego Luna has whetted our appetites even more (if possible) as talking to SFX Magazine he makes it very clear that seeing the events of the final 12 episodes will shine a new light (and no doubt plenty of shadows) on what we think we’ve known about the events of the film for the past 8 and a half years.

“If you have your DVD or Blu-ray of Rogue One, you should plug it in as soon as the season ends, and you’ll see a film that will be resignified.”

“You’re going to see it differently, with so much information you didn’t have before. You knew nothing about this bunch of Rebels that got together and made this sacrifice, and then we did a show of 24 episodes about one of them. I definitely believe it’s going to change the experience because it’s now so full of answers – almost many more than you even wanted when you watched Rogue One, like who Cassian’s mother was, what was the first droid he had a strong connection with [that’ll be B2EMO], how his bedroom was… You’ve seen enough of this man now that you will go, like, ‘Holy shit, that’s what he meant?'”

We’ll be discussing this on a future episode of Making Tracks, the next episode of which is out Tuesday.
